“Your Majesty, I have a different opinion.” At that moment, a minister stood up and said.

“Tell me about it,” Charles IX said, looking over.

“Your Majesty, the Dukes of Buckingham have absolutely no reason to break ties with us. Besides, it was this very fellow who invited the Chancellor to the negotiations.”

"Isn't he blatantly telling the enemy that our two families are about to break ties?"

The minister walked over.

“Your Majesty, I believe it is highly likely that the Franks impersonated the Duke of Buckingham to do this.”

When the minister finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that it was entirely possible.

If that's the case, then they almost fell for Frank's trick.

"Your Majesty."

The minister continued.

There was an ambiguous relationship between the Duke of Buckingham and Queen Anne, wife of King Louis XIV of France.

This matter is known to almost everyone in Europe.

There are many people who hate Buckingham to the core.

There are also many who wish to put the Duke of Buckingham Palace to death.

If this opportunity can be used to ignite the conflict between Buckingham Palace and the German Empire, it will be of great benefit to the entire Frankish Kingdom and even the entire Russian Empire.

“I disagree with this view…” Just then, another minister stood up.

"The Duke of Buckingham is a man whose mind is always on women."

"But don't think that this guy is just a fool who doesn't think about anything except women."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

If the Duke of Buckingham were just a fool who didn't think about anything, he couldn't have climbed so high.

“Your Majesty, I believe the Duke of Buckingham has always harbored ambitions to annex the whole of Europe.”

He now commands an army of a million.

Moreover, this million-strong army is well-equipped. Once he launches an attack, who in Europe can withstand him?

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

This is absolutely great.

Buckingham has a million-strong army.

Their Germanic Empire had an army of 2 million.

However, the Germanic Empire's 2 million-strong army was far less well-equipped than Buckingham's million-strong army.

Buckingham had an invincible Armada.

Since his invincible Armada defeated Frankie's invincible Armada, Buckingham has vigorously promoted maritime trade.

This made the entire English Empire incredibly wealthy.

After having money.

They would then be able to mass-produce all sorts of weapons.

"In any case..." Charles IX looked around, "We must take this matter seriously, no matter who kidnapped or killed my prime minister."

This king will never forgive him.

…………

Jiang Tian put all of these tens of millions of gold coins into the system space.

"My lord, Chancellor Bismarck is in the cabin. Would you like to go and take a look?" Chen Feihu pointed to a ship moored not far away.

Jiang Tian nodded.

"Then don't just stand there, take me to see it quickly. I want to see what the iron-blooded prime minister of this Japanese anime empire looks like."

Soon, Chen Feihu rowed his boat closer to the large ship moored in the distance.

After Jiang Tian boarded the ship, he looked at the large vessel, which belonged to Zheng He.

“Zheng He, you’re quite something.” Jiang Tian glanced at Eunuch Sanbao. “How did you manage to disguise yourself as a ship of the English Empire?”

Zheng He smiled slightly and pointed to the warships of the English Empire not far away: "Your Excellency, we don't need to disguise ourselves, we can just buy them directly."

Our Great Xia Dynasty's various goods are popular all over the world.

Once our goods arrive, there simply won't be enough to meet demand.

Our silk and porcelain, in particular, sold like hotcakes not only in Frankish times, but also throughout the entire English Empire.

"Many people in the English Empire are willing to buy our products."

"Those two warships were given to us by them in exchange for other goods."

Jiang Tian patted Zheng He on the shoulder with satisfaction and headed straight for the cabin.

Inside the cabin, it was pitch black, as if there was no sun at all.

Chancellor Bismarck was tightly bound and gagged.

At this moment, the Iron Chancellor lay listlessly on the deck of the ship's cabin.

When he heard footsteps approaching, he immediately sat up.

Bismarck stuffed another rag into his mouth, making it impossible for him to make a sound.

Jiang Tian walked over and grabbed the tattered rag stuffed in his mouth.

"Stop stuffing rags into people's mouths, what if they choke to death?"

Jiang Tian tossed the drool-covered rag aside.

The iron-fisted prime minister was finally able to breathe smoothly, and he gasped for air.

“Iron Chancellor…” Jiang Tian carefully examined Bismarck, whose eyes were sinister.

There was indeed an aura of dominance between his brows.

The iron-fisted prime minister glared fiercely at Jiang Tian: "You are not from the British Empire at all. Why are you arresting me? What is your purpose?"

"Release me immediately! I can see you all have black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin; you are from the Great Xia Dynasty of the East."

"You bunch of barbarians, how long are you going to keep me locked up?"

Just tell me what you want.

If you want money, I'll give you money; if you want food, I'll give you food; if you want weapons and equipment, I'll give you weapons and equipment.

In short, I'll give you whatever you want, but I only ask that you do one thing: release me.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian burst into laughter.

He doesn't lack money at all right now.

It's not just because he now has tens of millions of gold coins, but also because everything generated in his system can be sold for money.

He looked down on those weapons and equipment even more.

Although the Germanic Empire's weaponry was advanced, it was comparable to, or even slightly inferior to, the Frankish Kingdom's weaponry.

He looked down on the weapons and equipment of the Frankish Kingdom, let alone those of the Germanic Empire.

Jiang Tian's weapons and equipment are three generations ahead of theirs.

"Why should I release you... I'm planning to go to your Germanic Empire soon to have some fun and enjoy myself."

"I've heard that you have an army of several million and have been eyeing the Russian and Frankish kingdoms."

"You've already ruined both the Russian Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom, haven't you?" The Iron-Blooded Chancellor suddenly said this, which greatly surprised Jiang Tian.

He seemed to have never met this person before. How could this person know so much about what Jiang Tian had done?

"I wonder where Your Excellency's words come from..."

“I was right.” Bismarck burst into laughter.
